Rare Jetswdo Posted July 23 Author #32 Share Posted July 23 I will look in that Men's travel Blazer in any case-- If it is cold in the restaurants he probably would miss not having his blazer--- He always packs 1 pair of shoes that are not his usual sneakers, to wear at night with his dockers/khakis. We are each going to wear our hiking shoes on the plane-- But good to know that it isn't necessary to bring it in any case. Thanks for all the feedback Appreciate it.

Rare ysolde Posted July 24 #36 Share Posted July 24 It's clear men's body temperature tends to run warmer than women's because I always look to bring a pashmina or a cardigan to dinner with me. I never know what the temperature is going to be in the restaurant, theater, etc., and I tend to get chilly easily. Better to have it on hand and not need it than to need it and not have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erisajd Posted July 24 #37 Share Posted July 24 Saw men (and women) in t shirts in Ocean Blue on our alaska cruise. It really is free style. . . .come as you are. Personally, I wore a sport jacket and a button down collar shirt because I wanted to look nice for my wife - in both Ocean Blue and Le Bistro - but certainly did not need it in either location.

Panhandle Couple Posted July 24 #40 Share Posted July 24 If hubby wears a blazer anywhere on a Bliss AK cruise, he will probably be the only one. People wanting to look rugged Alaska will be wearing flannel shirts. People wanting cruise casual will be wearing silky Hawaiian shirts (my preferred style due to easy packing). Gulf shirts are seen, but certainly in the minority. As an alternative, try a Henley shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once drove a blazer, but I don’t think it would fit into LeBistro. I wear sweats and slippers and look better than most. disclaimer: I really can’t back that last part up.

snorklinbarb Posted July 25 #50 Share Posted July 25 (edited) On 7/22/2024 at 11:18 PM, The Traveling Man said: There frequently are wide variances between the stated NCL policy and what is actually allowed. I have seen men wearing flip-flops, shorts, and a T-shirt seated for dinner in Le Bistro on more than one ship. Years ago I used to always pack a blazer, a couple of long sleeved dress shirts, and a neck tie or two when sailing. I still take a pair of slacks in addition to my jeans, but when sailing with NCL in the last several years, I have left the blazer at home. YMMV. Ironic that you would mention what you saw in Le Bistro. I certainly don't doubt you. Don't know if it's just the Joy (following policy) but no way would they accept what you have seen. A small group of 4 showed up and one of the men had shorts on. Hostess explained the policy and a woman started yelling at her. Said that when she booked she saw nothing on the website about no shorts in Bistro. By then the AMD got involved and she started yelling again, "We're done. Don't talk to me!" Bottom line is they were let in once the Restaurant Mgr finally relented. In a way it was prudent because they were causing a commotion and there were people at the bar, Le Bistro entrance and Cagney's desk right across the floor. With Ocean Blue, they call the cabin and leave a message about the dress code and remind about long pants. I was pretty amazed there (and Le Bistro) actually how dressed up people were. There were many "birthday crew" groups or "Grandma's 80th" tee shirts but boy, at night the women really dressed up in cocktail wear. There were plenty resort casual as well. Even the young 20's group seemed to be in dresses and heels. Night 2 still designated in Freestyle Daily as "Dress Up or Not" night and many did. Of course there were also groups having photos taken on the spiral staircase so many dressed up. The men less so. But on an Alaska cruise like the OP is going on, way less stuff taken considering one has to prepare for cooler weather. On Prima in May (to Iceland) I saw more sweatshirts than skirts.
